Yes but we poorly educate them in Canada.
You’re joking? Don’t know much about how things work in Canadian schools, but I don’t really see it that way. Why do you think that?
reply
Just basing it off the fact that most Canadians aren’t that bright. So maybe we are educated but not smart.

One important point is how tough the education system is, I thought that’s what you meant. For example, here in Portugal, up to 9th grade, pretty much only the kids really struggling fail. It’s easy overall, and if someone does fail, it just ends up being a hassle for the teachers.

it's like that here in the US too, basically impossible to not move up through the grade levels from K-12.
I venture to guess that about 40% of American college students actually get dumber after going to college.
(I'm not saying that they're dumber than the ones that didn't go to college. I'm saying that they were already smarter, but college made them a bit dumber.)
